Atos subsidiary and payments services’ specialist Worldline is revealing its two latest payment terminals at CARTES 2013: “the YOMANI touch enhances the user experience with a large touchscreen, while YOMOVA brings the full payment experience to the counter of small businesses”, says the company. Other innovations to take a look at on the Worldline stand include digital wallets, contactless mobile services, and biometric point of sale systems.

“By launching these new terminals, we are focusing on two important strategic tracks”, says Shaun Burger, Senior Vice President POS Terminal Solutions at Worldline. “First, we are offering a digital experience in line with current consumer expectations by launching a touch screen terminal, YOMANI touch. And second, we want to make electronic payment accessible to every type of business. We believe that YOMOVA is the perfect all-in-one payment terminal, bringing a value-for-money solution to small merchants who might be hesitating about moving to electronic payments.”

With its large full-colour touch screen and contactless reader, YOMANI touch lets merchants focused on extending customer interaction by offering more than just payment services. It’s the latest addition to the award-winning YOMANI family. YOMOVA can be used in a countertop or portable setting, with both wired and wireless connections. And, like all Worldline products, YOMANI touch and YOMOVA are manufactured in line with RoHS2 and WEEE standards.

These developments are only part of a much bigger picture for Worldline though. According to Marc-Henri Desportes, Worldline General Manager, things are “at a turning point for the payment business: new technologies are driving expectations in terms of user experience in a real disruptive way. It is time for a new way of offering payment services, and time to extend the value chain.”
